Fraction Approximation on Graphing Calculators Comparisons

Fraction Approximation on Graphing Calculators
Comparisons

Advanced calculators and calculator apps sometimes give
the ability for the user to convert answers to fractions. For rational numbers, the fractional
conversions are precise and easy.
However, for irrational numbers, different calculators use different
algorithms. I am going to use three
calculators to compare fractional answers:

TI-Nspire CAS iOS App: Fractional Approximations

* TI-NSpire CAS iOS App:
this should be similar to the TI-Nspire CAS handheld calculators, x→approxFraction(5.E-14)
